Metastorm 9.2 Admin Tools 500 error Event code: 3003

Elliot Waguespack

I've been experiencing an error while editing Web Service connections in the Metastorm Administrative Tools. Here is the message that I received:

 

Webpage error details
Message: Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server. The status code returned from the server was: 500

 

I also noticed that there was a Warning from ASP.NET 4.0 in the Windows Application Log:

 

Event code: 3003
Event message: A validation error has occurred.

 

After a little research I ran across a few ASP.NET articles that pointed me in the right direction.

I added the attribute: requestValidationMode="2.0" to the element in the MetastormAdministration Application's Web.config so that my httpRuntime tag looked like this:

 

 

This allows the MetastormAdministration App to use .NET 2.0 Validation instead of .NET 4.0. From what I have read the validateRequest="false" attribute inside of the pages element should prevent validation, however, I was unable to change any Web Service Connections through the admin tools without the requestValidationMode attribute.

This is a really cool find.  By any chance when you go into the admin site and look at your web service connections... Do you happen to see two connections?  And do you update both accordingly?
